Summary
“If Arthur, maker of knights, can train a lowborn man to your satisfaction and prove we can strengthen our defenses from among our own, you will release me from this marriage agreement.”
To save Morgana from a loveless political marriage, Arthur has three months to turn a peasant into a knight. The only problem? That peasant is Merlin.
Otherwise known as She's All That but utter medieval nonsense.

There Are No Gays in Football by Malu_3 (Grainne)
Fandoms: Merlin (TV), Arthurian Mythology
22 Apr 2013

Summary
When a deeply-closeted Arthur Pendragon finally earns a spot in Camelot's first XI, he's dead set on breaking records, not one of sport's last taboos. But life, like football, is a funny old game, and sometimes the only way up is out. Especially once he realises he's arse over tit for the new physio.
A queer Arthurian tale of courage, love, and football.

Summary
Arthur gave Merlin his cloak thinking only of the warmth it would offer in a snowstorm. He never thought his manservant may be mistaken for him and snatched by bandits. Nor did he expect his dashing rescue of Merlin to turn his world so utterly on his head.
Because the bandits hadn't kidnapped a prince. They'd snatched a sorcerer, and now captivity is the least of anyone's problems.
A golden age awaits, but can they claim it together, or are they doomed to fail?

Summary
Essek draws out the spool of platinum cord from his component pouch. He loops it around his own wrist before catching Caleb’s wrist and repeating the motion. Caleb blinks, staring down at the wire before meeting Essek’s gaze again. Essek feels him start to tug his hand out, and tightens his grip.
“Do you trust me?”
“I—” Caleb starts, before breaking off, his blue eyes wide.
“Do you trust me?” he repeats, more urgently this time. He has only moments before the door behind him will burst open.
———
In which Essek teaches Caleb the practical application of tether essence.

Made For This (Rise Up From the Dust) by TripMcNeill

Summary
Obi-Wan always wanted another Padawan after Anakin, and when he was on Christophsis, he thought he would get one. The Force had other plans. That was how it played out. But what if it went differently?
On their way to Christophsis to aid Senator Organa, the 212th make a pit stop on Kamino to resupply with troops, and their general makes a startling discovery. In Tipoca City, about to be decommissioned for failing combat exams, is a Force-sensitive clone cadet. Cutting it close, Obi-Wan swoops in and snaps him up, taking the boy as his new Padawan learner, altering his own fate and that of the clones.
This is the story of the clone cadet that became a Jedi, how Obi-Wan learned his own happiness mattered, and how Cody managed to show the galaxy that the clones were more than meat droids made for war along the way.

Summary
Cody's General was a perfect example for the men. He ate regularly. He was punctual with his medical appointments. Kenobi socialized with his officers, hosted curated office hours for the rank-and-file, walked the field hospitals during engagements, and made time every Centaxday to review escalated grievance reports.
He was there for his men—but always at the exactly appropriate arm’s length away and half step ahead.
-
Cody notices that Kenobi's regard for himself is always clinical and utilitarian. As he ponders a way to break the stalemate, he begins to learn more about the lightsaber that is so often in his hands, and how it relates to the subject of Kenobi's own soul.

His head hurt. The light was so strong it was coming through his eyelids.
He groaned, gave in and opened his eyes. He was lying down. His head hurt. A man was leaning over him.
“Cody?” said the man.
He studied the man’s face. He looked worried. “Who are you?”The amnesia AU: Cody wakes up with no memory. There appears to be a war. And the man called Obi-Wan seems to know more than he’s letting on.

“There’s no need for finesse," Cody said, and he felt his men sharpen, ready. "These cages were built to hold two-pound flying rodents, not 200-pound soldiers. See what will break.”
Or, Cody and some of the 212th get captured by smugglers, and nothing is quite what it seems to be.

Summary
Book one ends with two major diffrences: 1. Sokka went on the mission with Hahn (it did not go well) 2. Zhao survives the North Pole and that proves unfortunate for everybody (except Zhao, obviously)
Imprisoned on Zhao’s war ship, Sokka and Zuko have to work together to survive. They are not very enthusiastic about this prospect.
And they argue.
A lot.

Summary
Eleven years ago, the Jedi order got wind of the closing pincers of a Sith trap and scattered to the remote corners of the galaxy. Ten years ago, millions of clone commanders and troopers were introduced as the Republic’s new Army, made for fighting a war alongside people the galaxy seemed to be forgetting ever existed. Nine months ago, Commander Cody decided he was no longer going to risk his men's lives for the whims of clueless generals. Now, his decision to save a boy and a man in the desert, and the plan he comes up with to get away with it, will change the galaxy.

Summary
All Cody wanted from the Jedi was a competent, fair general; so that he could focus on keeping his men safe, and maybe trying to live up to the name Jango Fett had bestowed on him.
Nothing could have prepared him for Kenobi save for the experience itself: crashing across the galaxy, from caf-and-stims-fueled battlefield highs down to heady fluorescent ship-side lows.
But then, he supposes, this war had a habit of exceeding his expectations, in all the best and worst ways. This is that story through Cody's eyes.

Summary
The Jedi have been slaughtered, Anakin has turned dark side, and Obi-Wan is being hunted by his former apprentice. When Yoda tells him he needs to fake his death, Obi-Wan agrees. It isn't as though this is new to him. Obi-Wan, Cody, and Rex are put into a deep Force sleep, and Yoda promises to wake them when the galaxy needs them again.
But it isn't Yoda who wakes them. It's a small voice, calling out to a Jedi for help. Obi-Wan wakes up to a quiet head, both Yoda and Anakin are dead. And then he learns thirty years have passed while he's been asleep. With the Jedi Order gone, with Mandalore glassed, with a Empire that has risen and fallen, Obi-Wan, Cody, and Rex must decide what their place is in this new galaxy.
But first, there is a child who needs help. The only clue Obi-Wan has is a Mandalorian in shiny beskar'gam. If they can find one, they can find the other.
